Here is their problem, MA and all these other states' legislatures that are passing this language:
The bill enacted by the Senate 28-9 Tuesday is part of a nationwide effort to secure the agreement of enough states so the winner of the national popular vote would be guaranteed to win the presidency.
They have gone on record with this to make an agreement, a compact between states, some of the bills use that very word. They tipped their hand, removed the ability to later claim it was happenstance occurrence. This is specifically prohibited by the Constitution, Article I, Section 10 - Powers prohibited of States:
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
Well, that's just another part of the Constitution for this regime to ignore. And the masses, who were ignorant and stupid enough to elect this bunch, won't understand and won't care. They know more about what's new with American Idle.
Well, I have to admit you’re right there. Technically, the legislature can throw darts at a dartboard and declare the electoral vote winner that way, but when they enter into an agreement, that is clearly the power of the state government.
